WINDSOR HOTEL,
New York, Jan. 8, 1887.
Editor Register This is quite hotel,
and it can fairly be called very good
one; indeed, to be perfectly square and
fair with the hotel, we don't know any
better. The charge is So a day; but if
any one should undertake to build and
furnish house equally good to live in
he would find So day would pay but
a small part of the interest money re-
quired. 1t is only through combination
that most men could live in such a place
as this. Taking this view of it, | look
upon it as very cheap house. The Their
mometer is at ten above to-day, and cold
enough. The small boy of the city | have
found universally rubbing his ears and
looking thoughtful, though of course he
doesn't stop his play. The older citizen
walks briskly, and acts determined, arm
ed with his cane and stove-ppe hat.
Neither of them knows enough to dress
for the weather.
l have taken this opportunity to look
up the pedigree of the dam of Goldsmith
Maid. This mare was owned by Daniel
Morris, who kept a livery in Houston
street, and Mr.. Wallace says that some
one says that Mr.. Morris, now dead, call
ed her Old Alb. and said she was by ABB
dallah; and with this for evidence he
registers her unqualfiedly as got by Alb
dallah, and this rendering has been gen.
orally adopted. | have seen, today, sew
eral old friends of Mr.. Morris; they knew
nothing about the mare, but referred me
to married daughter of his, whom |
hope to see Monday. These researches
have given me busy day. Distances
are long here at New York. Then | did
some visiting at the Sportsman office and
elsewhere. This morning beautiful
air from some hidden place came to me
like breath of spring over the frozen
winter. Tonight it is present again, and
it has just occurred to me from what
source this melody comes. | heard it in
Brandon at the Brandon House when

haps | will be able to obtain its title.

a bar-room in State where they have
not the Maine law; where a hotel is a
low loafing-place, instead of home, to
be Stunned as far as possible. Last
night we stopped at Jamaica. The de-
basing effects of the drink traffic strikes
through the women part of the home.
How can it help it. If simply as police
regulation for the protection of hotels
and all decent people; for the help of
women who cannot stand up alone against
the debasement of open liquor-selling.

We have started through this island
lengthwse and feel good deal the same
kind of respect for it that the captain in
Cooper's novels did for the big lakes.
Several hours of car-riding don't exhaust
its length, and for its width, its wide
enough, so you don't know how wide it
is. The scenery has reminded me of
old England; the people, perhaps, give
a suggestion of the Dutch. Truly rural
in the best sense of the word good part
of them appear, which is the more no.
ticeable that they are so near great
city. Perhaps a greater sea is constant
antidote for the city and filings the re-
straints of its spray upon the truthful
people that live near it. If this is so, let
me dotf my hat to old ocean, and pro-
foundly thank it. Certainly for what
little occasion | have had to meet it at
all, have never met more kindliness, or
seen better honesty and frank simplic-
ty than in the two DAYS have been upon
this island. Last night called upon Mr..
p. p. Nissan of jamaica to-day on
Carl Burr, the trainer. Mr.. Burr has an
elegant home, delightfully."- furnished and
delightfully."- kept. He has a superb mile
track for training his horses, and first
rate barns to hold them. The horses are
now in winter quarters. They are all in
good order and healthy as sea-gulls.

saw one splendid specimen of Blue Bull
stock and very game inbred Morgan
mare, full sister to Florence. , ID. There
was nothing in the Hlmbletonans that
we envied, though streaks of the Ameri-
can Star blood were common and to be
admired, and the Clay blood in one form.

many of them failed to trot 80 races.
The principle of compensation is very
